****READ THROUGH ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BOOKING**** Haw Ridge is a mountain top camp site with a total of only two campsites. At a 4,550 foot elevation and with nearly 360 degree views, there is a perfect sunrise and sunset experience. With no light pollution the stargazing is amazing. You must have a 4WD with high clearance to reach the site. Please list what vehicle/vehicles you will be taking to site when you are booking. There is no parking at the bottom or anywhere else - only at the sites. On foggy mornings, the mist rolls right over the ridge top. There are 2 sites on one acre so plenty of space for social distancing! Rocky Fork State Park Tn. is just a short drive away for some great additional hiking , swimming and fishing. Enjoy the view and your stay!!

Beautiful views and very quiet. Road to campsites is very rough but well worth the drive.

Haw ridge campsite 2

This camp site is epic !!! Clean , beautiful views all the way around the campsite . If you want a shaded campsite go for site #1 . Campsite #2 doesn’t have shade but you can not beat the views . Also make sure you have a 4 wheel drive . Thank you Peter for sharing this little piece of heaven with us and others .

We had a lovely weekend at site #1 and enjoyed the awesome sunset views. 4x4 is definitely a must to get up to the sites! The picnic table is a nice addition.

Epic views! A overlanders dream!

Definitely need a 4x4 low range to access but man what a hidden gem that was clean and views for days. Definitely an awesome spot i would love to use again. Sunset was the best. Quiet and clean.

This place is pretty cool. I've been there twice. Once in an 84 VW camper van. 9 inches of clearance, rear engine over the drive wheels, and I barely made it up the last little portion of the road/trail. The van probably didn't appreciate the beating too much. 2nd time I went up in my Subaru Outback and it was easy. Kind of feels like part of the adventure, but the 4x4 recommendation is a wise one. Great views from the top. Dark and quiet. Went up there for the Perseid Meteor Shower with my daughter and it was great.
